sources say there was one instance where rice berated hhs xavier becerra how he handled migrants. rice reportedly wrote a note to a colleague that said don't help them. we picked up on this because no one ever leaks barely major player in this administration. figured out the leaks are coming from the far left. the far left thinks susan rice is too tough on illegal immigrants. and the left thinks susan rice is the new stephen miller. but, why leak this now? well, it actually makes sense. the left loves ron klain. biden's chief of staff. and rice is reportedly on deck to take his job when he gets the boot. the left also doesn't like susan rice because she is an obama puppet and they don't want obama pulling the strings in biden's white house because obama, the biden relationship not as cool as everybody thinks. obama is jealous of biden, according to nancy pelosi. we reported that earlier. so if you thought the country was dysfunctional now, just wait until susan rice takes the reins at the white house. clearly the knives are out for her. karl rove, former white house deputy chief o

secretary becerra said yesterday in terms of when things would be back to normal but abbott is the one that can tell you the timeline. we don't run their plant. do you know if anyone from the administration is at the plant or visited the plant to see where things stand? karine: i don't know. i can get back to our team and find out more specifically. what i can say, there are a lot of dates floating around out there. at the end of the day, the infant formula market is tight because the michigan abbott facility is off-line currently which is what we're trying to do. this is the announcement you'll hear from f.d.a. later today how we're helping them do that. we're taking a range of steps to get more supply onto shelves from domestic and international locations and offering a suit of resources to move supply onto the market. as the secretary said, abbott can speak to an exact timeline for reopening, but f.d.a. is and will be prepared to effectively and quickly certify moving out safe products onto shelves as it is obligated to. and so that is going to be our focus. f.d.a. is going to work
